Thanks Doug. Yes, I understand the relationship with fresh dies and PL/DPL surfaces. In my initial analysis, I noted i thought these were PL and...
That's one of the reasons I would be careful paying big premiums on modern coins in top pops. There have to be millions of coins sitting in mint...
I agree with you on this point as well. I don't think the rims are flat enough nor squared enough for a proof coin. Is that your take?
All the coins aren't going to Amazon. The dealer mentioned getting in touch with high end collectors for the nicer specimens. My guess is...
Bill, why do you think it's a proof? I think the rims show it to be a business strike; however, I'd like to get your opinion and learn more about...
Maybe the model was a speedskater from the Netherlands!
That's a nice find. I don't collect this series, but first off, I don't think this is a proof. The edges have beveling; therefor, it can't get a...
One thing no one has mentioned regarding the reason for burying the coins in the ground was that FDR made owning gold illegal in the 30's. If the...
Let me tell you a story about a couple named "X", Poor Californian's barely kept themselves fed, Then one day they were walking in the woods, And...

No. You have to be authorized. There is a waiting list to get authorization and they are not accepting any new members at the moment. You'll...
We're definitely on the same page.
I' not the best coin photographer either. I'm getting ready to sell of some of my MS64 Morgans. I plan to use the auction pictues which are...
If your question is about a specific U.S. Coin, then start a thread in this forum. If you want to ask general questions about coins, the hobby,...
I'm seeing the NorFed coins back on eBay. I'm tempted as it's an awesome design.
There's a lot of chatter on the cheek and the fields. There also appears to be a rub in the hair above her forehead. There are two distracting...
Thanks. I was very happy to win the auction and add it to my collection. I just like the bold statement the Peace dollars makes with Ms....
Agree that the strike is strong. Her left hand isn't quite defined, but that's tough to find. Based on the images, it appears to radiate luster....
